Happy Birthday Re.Verso

Re.Verso™ is the first and only platform for re-engineering wool and cashmere materials for fashion . It was created and developed in Italy by a group of companies who lead the way in this field, who now, after only one year can boast some great achievements in the short time since its launch, at Première Vision last year where the inaugural Re.Verso™ collection of fashion fabrics was presented by A. Stelloni by Mapel.

Now, one year on, this innovative re-engineered system of wool and cashmere textiles has built new strategic partnerships with some of the most important companies who are at the forefront of innovation in textiles.

The Re.Verso™ certified revolution for wool and cashmere. What is it?
Open for business in September 2014, Re.Verso™ focused only on innovative, quality assured textile companies whose dedicated research and development program was designed to produce not only high-quality, beautiful fabrics, but also ameliorate and improve their production chain, reducing raw material waste and offering a completely honest and traceable ‘Made in Italy’ range of products. Re.Verso™ is an open platform with a fully integrated productive method based on collecting pre-consumer wool and cashmere textile clippings and left over materials, and through a unique re-engineering process, produce high quality fashion textiles . The pre-consumer textile clippings are collected by Green Line, and are manually selected, thanks to the extraordinary skills of Nuova Fratelli Boretti, where they are then converted, through their proprietary mechanical process into a new quality fiber. This virtuous production chain is completely traceable, transparent, and is naturally ‘Made in Italy’. As well as having SAB 8000 certification, Nuova Fratelli Boretti also has GRS certification for all its Re.Verso™ materials.

Re.Verso™ new partners and brands
These are the market leading partners of excellence who convert this fiber into their own range of unique textiles of the highest quality.
Filatura C4: for the past three generations this Pistoia based company has been producing high-quality textiles for the contract sector, combining tradition and real innovation. The company pays special attention to their products traceability, as well as quality in the making of their own special textile ranges.
